Adopt a classroom with friends, family, coworkers, a church group, or on behalf of a business.

Make a recurring pledge that renews every month for a whole year.

Sponsoring an entire classroom takes just $500. It’s a great opportunity for a business to make an impact in the community, for a church group to band together, for old friends to give back, or for an extended family to engage together in charitable giving.

What we need is pretty straightforward – it’s the funds to be able to reach the children in our program who don’t yet have sponsors. At just $25 a child, it’s manageable. It’s a trip for two people to the movies. It’s a dinner out. It’s a brand new hardback book we might buy for ourselves.

What these children get out of their 12 books is rich and complex. Students who have never found joy in reading learn to love it in a book about WWE wrestlers or their favorite NBA stars. Children who have never owned a single book experience the pride of ownership. Older siblings take their books home and read to little brothers and sisters.

Inspiring this joy, pride, and togetherness is magical. And, research shows that it can have a similar impact to attending summer school – at a fraction of the cost.

No matter how you choose to give, we thank you, and the children we serve thank you.
